    My frogs always pee on me when I handle them. Even my very old fire- bellied toads that are very used to being picked up. Its just a natural instinct to avoid getting eaten. My frogs are always scared when I first pick them up but calm down ( I think ) after they realize it's just me and will sit in my hand. Gray tree frogs are very smart but be patient with Paddy. It took me about 2-3 weeks to get my gray TF to be comfortable with me. Now he sits and looks out of his tank at me and sings loudly, and when I put my hand near him, sometimes he grabs on.

    How cute is that!!!!

    I never pick her up or coax her in any way, I let her climb on my hand herself. So far (the whopping 3 times) she hasn't resisted at all. She didn't look scared or anything but I'm going to leave her for a few days just in case. She most certainly did NOT want to go back in her cage though when I was putting her away LOL I reached her down to it and she jumped on the cover instead.
